Our prayers to OSU
on Friday, November 18, 2011
Two members of the Oklahoma State University athletcis department -- women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant women's basketball coach Miranda Serna -- died over night in a plane crash while on a recruiting tip.
While every and all sudden deaths carry an element of tragedy, this one strikes a nerve for several reasons. The first being that eight people associated with the men's basketball team died in a plane crash almost 11 years ago. Terry Don Phillips was the school's athletic director at OSU at the time and now serves the same role at Clemson. He is a good friend of us here at Brett. Several times he has talked to us about the 2001 tragedy that rocked the school. We have seen how it hurts him.
Our prayers go out to the OSU community this morning.
